Some would say that a majority of people can't be wrong. Is that true?
Because to me, it seems like quite the opposite most of the time. Jerkoff politicians being elected, the success of Fox News (it wouldn't be so successful if it didn't a large enough audience) and it's liberal equivalent (I'm sure there is one), minorities of people being persecuted for not being like the masses, and the masses easily believing ridiculous myths and superstitions, these are just some examples of the masses not being all that bright. Or maybe I'm supposed to believe that all of the bad things happening in this world is always because of some powerful minority?
Thing is, even if a powerful minority was always to blame, then all it would mean is that the masses are impotent and weak-willed. How is that better than being dumb?
I did read once that slavery was once popular with the masses. Wouldn't surprise me if it was true.
